Summary for the governing body

Overall Gatsby compliance is 74%, with 5 of 8 benchmarks fully met. Personal guidance and employer encounters are the strengths. Workplace experience is the one benchmark still rated red, and it heads this term's priorities.

Leadership & accountability

Gatsby Benchmark 1 expects a stable careers programme that is known and understood by pupils, parents, staff, governors and employers - led by a named, trained Careers Leader and held to account by governors.

Why it matters

What changes

The honest version of the before, and what it looks like once this is running.

Without Chapter

A careers report written from scratch every term
Governors receiving a PDF nobody can trace back to data
Benchmark 1 asking for accountability you can't evidence
Sign-off happening in minutes that live in a different system

With Chapter

A termly pack assembled from live Gatsby data in one click
A secure link governors open without an account
Named Careers Leader, link governor and SLT sponsor on the page
Governor sign-off captured and timestamped as Benchmark 1 evidence

How it works

Up and running in minutes

Three steps, in the order you'd actually do them.

Generate the term's pack

Nine sections assembled from live Gatsby data - benchmarks, employer encounters, destinations, priorities.

Share a secure link

Governors open it in a browser. No account, no password, no chasing IT for access.

Capture the sign-off

Who signed and when, recorded against the term - independent Benchmark 1 evidence.

In detail

How it actually works

The mechanics behind the screenshot.

Nine sections a governing body can actually act on

The pack is ordered the way a governors' meeting runs: the headline first, then who is accountable, then the detail, then what happens next. It ends on priorities for the term rather than trailing off into appendices.

Sign-off is the evidence

Benchmark 1 asks for a programme that is known, understood and held to account. A pack that a named governor has opened and signed off is exactly that - so Chapter records the sign-off against the term and keeps it with the report.

Questions

The things schools ask

No. The pack is shared on a secure tokenised link that opens in a browser. That is deliberate - the fastest way to kill governor engagement is to ask a volunteer to create a login.

Termly. Chapter labels each pack with its term and academic year, so a year's packs read as a sequence rather than four disconnected documents.

The narrative summary for the governing body is AI-drafted from your data; every figure, table and RAG band around it is computed, not generated. You review before sharing.

Chapter tells you rather than producing a hollow report. Add pupils and record some evidence first, and the pack becomes available.
